Short name | MlaA |
Description
Intermembrane phospholipid transport system lipoprotein MlaA is a component of the Mla pathway, an ABC transport system that functions to maintain the asymmetry of the outer membrane
[1]. MlaA, also known as VacJ, is required for the intercellular spreading of Shigella flexneri. It is attached to the outer membrane by a lipid anchor
[2].
